Japanese couple who overcame a 21-year age gap, married with a mother from elementary school alumni

A story has been revealed about a man who fell in love with his elementary school classmate's mother, persistently pursued her, and overcame a 21-year age gap to get married, becoming a hot topic.

 

Recently, a newlywed couple appeared on ABC TV, a TV Asahi affiliate, in a program titled "Wife is a Classmate Mom."

The main characters of the story are a husband, Isamu Tomioka (32), and his wife, Midori (53), who reside in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Midori is Isamu's female classmate's mother.

The first time the two people met was when Isamu, then an elementary school student, attended a "parent observation class" with Midori. However, their love blossomed after Isamu became an adult.

Isamu met Midori again after about ten years, and he revealed that he felt attracted to her and fell in love at first sight. Since then, Isamu's pursuit began.

Isamu, who was divorced at the time, invited Midori to a meal and directly confessed, "I fell in love at first sight. Please go out with me." Thinking it was a casual meal invitation, Midori accepted, but when Isamu, who was her daughter's classmate, confessed, she rejected him, saying, "What kind of foolish thing is that?"

 

However, Isamu did not give up and actively approached Midori, and thus they began a 30-day consecutive date starting from their first meal together.

Midori recalled, "At that time, I had just divorced not long ago and was experiencing emotional ups and downs, but Isamu became my support."

 

Eventually, after about 30 days of continuous dating, Isamu confessed once again. However, when Midori replied, "I still can't date you," and rejected him again, Isamu admitted that he cried loudly in despair.

Afterward, Midori continued to reject Itsumu's confessions. At that moment, Midori's quick-witted daughter stepped in and said, "If I am the obstacle between you two, don't worry about me and just think about your happiness, Mom," supporting their relationship.

Encouraged by her daughter's support, Midori ultimately accepted Isamu's confession and decided to date him. However, there was a major obstacle. Midori's parents opposed their relationship.

 

Lee Isamu personally visited Midori's parents, convincing them that there is no such thing as a marriage being ordinary or extraordinary, and he appealed that he already had assets worth 370 million won and was prepared for marriage.

Thanks to Iseamu's efforts, Midori's parents also said, "Thank you for caring so much about Midori," and approved of the two's marriage, which took place in 2023.

Midori smiled and said, "I caused my parents worry, but I met such a wonderful husband and plan to enjoy my life from now on."

The broadcast also showed Isamu clinging to Midori, who was making breakfast every morning, acting spoiled. The MC also asked this affectionate couple, "How are things at night?" with a bold question. Isamu replied, "Honestly, we do it every day," and Midori, feeling shy, said, "It's hard. I accept it as exercise."
